I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences with common mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) in restoration or other natural area projects. Our riparian restoration project has extensive, dense stands of Artemisia vulgaris, a perennial, rhizomatous plant rich in allelochemicals, growing along the cobble shore. My concern is that this species will persist and interfere with the successful establishment of the native herbaceous and woody species that we introduce.
*Herbaceous species for the site may include: Eutrochium maculatum, Asclepias incarnata, Solidago rugosa, Carex stricta, Persicaria maculosa ** Woody species for the site may include: Salix eriocephala, S. sericea, S. discolor, Acer pensylvanicum, Platanus occidentalis, Alnus spp., Cephalanthus occidentalis Thank you for your thoughts, Barbara
